A Selection of Quotes from 'Where the Mountains Echoed' by Khaled Housseini

I recently finished reading 'Where the Mountains Echoes by Khaled Hosseini, and found it to be a an awe-inspiring, wholesome read. Definitely one of the best books I read in 2023. So, here is a collection of quotes I loved from the book:

“But then it passed, as all things do.”

“Beauty is an enormous, unmerited gift given randomly, stupidly.”

“J’aurais dû être plus gentille—I should have been more kind. That is something a person will never regret. You will never say to yourself when you are old, Ah, I wish I was not good to that person. You will never think that.”

“Out beyond ideas

of wrongdoing and right doing,

there is a field.

I’ll meet you there.”

“You say you felt a presence, but I only sensed an absence. A vague pain without a source. I was like a patient who cannot tell the doctor where it hurts, only that it does.”

“The cities, the roads, the countryside, the people I meet - they all begin to blur. I tell myself I am searching for something. But more and more, it feels like I am wandering, waiting for something to happen to me, something that will change everything, something that my whole life has been leading up to.”
